Well said, was just thinking that. When Monta is a willing passer, passing early in the shot clock, not forcing shots, actually trying to create for others instead of it being a last resort...he's a good player. Can he do it for 82 games though, vs non-elite teams that you naturally get hyped for / try to play your best game.

And the we screw up 3-4 possessions in a row at the very beginning of the plays...how can you screw up so badly in a few plays and go back to +12?!

Jackson and his substitutes...he had 2 guards and 3 SFs on the court at one point. And then he puts Jenkins in...it's like we won. Just play the well you did for the entire game...please. Just once, no screw ups.

a dios mio... this game, man, this game. This game exemplifies what's wrong with the NBA / NBA officiating / the czar David Stern.

- Pandering every call to your rising young star player / KIA spokesperson / slam dunk champion? Check- Trying to foul out or dim the aggressiveness of the guy guarding the star playerwith ticky tack phantom calls? Check- Getting fooled(?) by every flop (even when it's by one of the strongest players in the league)? Check- Home crowd advantage in foul calls? Check- Elite / new "it" team advantage in foul calls? Check- A few make-up calls (which are also phantom / bs calls) to make it seem like it's going both ways? Check

Such horrid officiating. Thing is, we all know exactly why it's happening and who's orders they're following. My thing is, if a guy is truly a star player, then why does he even need the refs help?
